Bikinis for Your Body Shape!

[Brandyforreal]

WHat if your a pear shape with a big bust??

[KristiexKryptonite]

I'm an hour glass, but my bust is too big for a string bikini, either I end up with a seriously crippled neck from the weight of keeping my bust in the right place, or I have to loosen the top and have my bust by my knees!! What should I wear? x

[R0SIEmb]

Great video! I'm an hourglass I think, I'm 35-25-36, and I've never worn a string bikini before! I'll definitely try that out! Unless maybe I'm a pear, I'm not sure... :L Btw I love your hair it's so pretty!

[Taylorhaydn]

I love being in a bikini. I have an hour glass figure to with the sway back and a big butt. The sway back makes my butt look even bigger. I never had a very big problem with feeling good in a bikini which I am happy about. Every girl should feel pretty(:

[tjheartsyou]

hahaha, summer is 8 months away but im still watching this because i cant wait and i love you! 

[kaylisrose]

what book is that? 

[CayennePepper15]

Has Anna ever posted her body measurements before? height, weight, bust, waist, and hip measurements

because i think she has an enviable body

[HBeautyLover]

I have really long skinny legs, a not big bust, and really boxy shoulders. What body type am i?

[emotional4747]

@HBeautyLover i think we are wat they call a strawberry bikini

[emotional4747]

@HBeautyLover and a kinder boyish shape

[lasse2206]

TO THESTILEDIET. please anwser , how do you get such beautifull hair??????? :D:D:D

[frailwhispers]

you are freaking gorgeous.

[LoveAngel171]

I am 13,

and I live in spain that means 4-5 months a year summer weather...

But I kinda hate to wear bikinis cause I think that I am to fat :(

My breast isnt really big, Its kinda small, and my hips are wide!

Im 1,64 m high(or something liek that...) ;). And I weight something around 50! :(

I listend to your video.. but I still dont get what I am! :S

(You are really pretty :) (I loooove your hair :3 ))

[YVIANDFRANZI]

@LoveAngel171 omg, you arent fad. i'm really really thin people say to me and i'm 170 high and i weight about 57, and some people say i'm too thin and i should eat more blabalabla, so i really dont think that youre fad.

[LoveAngel171]

@YVIANDFRANZI haha :)

[MissSweetCandy14]

@LoveAngel171

If the weight and height you posted in your comment are true you are really not fat a all!

If your bust is small and your hips are kinda wide you could be a pear shape? I think I am probably one, or maybe a mix pear+hourglass shape....^^

[LoveAngel171]

@MissSweetCandy14 haha ok :)

[lotzsplotz]

I kinda don't agree with the string bikini theory. I generally have a long slender body type but compared to my upper body my hips are slightly larger and I find my body looks much better in bikinis with thicker sides than string bikinis. But maybe thats just me

[SillySassySincere]

I just wanted to say that you are so sweet and beautiful!!!

[MissIrishleprachaun]

I'm from Ireland!!!:D and I haven't gone to the beach once this summer;(

[OpalTheApple265]

Thanks for the advice, but my parents don't let me wear bikinis. :( Also, my friend told me never to wear a bikini if I didn't look good in one, so I suppose I'll never wear one anyway, I'm just fat. :-/

[BeautyFreakist]

@OpalTheApple265 No. You wear a bikini if you like. I'm sure you are not fat, because even if you may see yourself like that, you are not. But if your parents don't let you, then I'd advise you to ask why? :)

[OpalTheApple265]

@BeautyFreakist Thanks. :) I have asked before, they say they aren't modest enough, my dad doesn't even want me wearing tankinis. :P I don't know if I would like them, but I really want to try a monokini. Still not modest enough for them. *Sigh* Guess when I'm 18 I'll have another thing to look forward to. :)

[chocolatemonkeyluver]

i always feel awkward in a bikini.. i dont like anything else than bikinis cuz im so use to them... i mostly feel awkward cuz i always c cute boys at the beach or in a waterpark and when i c them i start to be concerned about my weight..i am an hour glass figure and that makes me more concerned

[skittles18384]

I'm an hour glass and all I wear is string bikinis! Ur so right it's the only thing that works!

[96ticklemepink]

eh im just fat, so i fit into none of these catergories :/

[XOMissDaisyXO]

@96ticklemepink me too

[ozmonto]

Thanks for the vid hunny, very informative. I have to disagree with you on one point though, bandeau's definitely make the bust look smaller! They are terrible for small chested females.

[vivi102210]

hey i am kinda confused about my body shape

you see my mesurements are 37 32 40 i dont know what shape i am because i do have a butt and hips i have a small bust it's actually a 34 b but i have a bitt of tummy so idk what type i am can you help??pleasee :)

[aurorajubes]

@vivi102210 you sound like a pear shape :)

[vivi102210]

@aurorajubes thanks!! lol i was confused but now that ypu tell me i think i am pear.. thank you!

[EllieMaggsx]

Your hair looks gorgeous! please do a 'how to' video on that, also what type of bikini tops do you wear to make your boobs look bigger if you're full figured and have broad shoulders, I'm a 36B btw:)x.

[EllieMaggsx]

Your hair is gorgeous! please do a 'how to' video on it also what kinda bikini tops can wear to make your boobs look bigger, i'm a 36B:)x.

[EllieMaggsx]

Your hair is gorgeous! please do a 'how to' video on it:)x.

[aELVISgirlFOREVER]

omg, your so right on that boyish shape! I think I have it (becouse when I'm comparing myself to my frieds I feel quite curveless..), and I have thought that low wasted bikini bottoms are just disgusting and making my body look like a shapeless board... I have tried to find high waisted ones and couldn't find so I made them myself and they look so good on me :)

[oatmealxlover]

im an apple shape :/

[HORSEZOX]

@oatmealxlover hmm me too, its not that bad tho

[aoifeo12]

You are sooooo cute.

[sammyannmarie]

I have a bigger bust and have tried SO many string bikini style suits and have never been able to find a flattering one. I recently tried a bandeau style one and it looks so much better and I feel much more comfortable in it.

[LoveGrayci]

I have NO idea what is MY body shape!!!!!

CAN YOU HELP ME, PLEASE??????????

<333333333333333333333333333

[angelfacepocahontas]

I love your hair. I would really like you tell me how you styled it if you did :)

[GuidetteExpert]

Them boy shorts on beyonce was because to hold her booty,, and big sexy feminen hips are not ugly!

[marianrosealexander]

xx thanks anna x really great vid!

[thesparkleicious]

such a gr8 vid babe....much needed!:) xxx

[iLoveShisha]

don´t like the advertising at the beginning

[stylizacje]

great tip in the end!!!

[Araniil]

agree on most things, but on me atleast i feel that bandeau make the breast smaller and halterneck makes it look bigger :/

[MusicGirl6462]

I'm an hourglass, but I can't stand triangle halters. I think you must have to be really perky on top for that to look good on my body shape because triangle halters give reall no support whatsoever whereas bandeaus( the ones that have straps) or bra like tops do

[slapahoe993]

hmm idk what i would be ..... i think i would have to switch it up... i have thick legs and a biggbutt but then again i have a medium bust..so does that mean i wear the bandeau? and the bottoms that tie on the side? ummm gosh idk D:

[8sarahisawesome8]

I don't know what type I am either... I have big thighs, a medium stomach and bust and I'm tall, help!!

[majenkinsxo]

Hahaha, I think I'm the same as you (our bra sizes are basically the same!) & this reeeallly helped me, thanks! <3

[JanniPink]

I have big butt big hips and very small chest+normal waist...

[53keira]

I have no idea about my shape. I have D cups, a decent big bum, really thick legs, thighs are normal size i guess, but my waist isn't so tiny. I would say ruler but I do put on weight easily and I'm not athletic looking.

[TheBeautyWithinYou]

Your hair looks incredible!

[kelsvrandall]

You look so prettyyyyyyy! :)

[SummerPaige03]

I don't know what I am. I'm not huge or anything but I've got a bust and a well belly my butt isn't big but my legs are a little bigger. I was thinking apple.. but I don't know. Help?

[Miamituscani1]

So true!!! I hate boyshorts!!!

[ohheyitslizziee]

I don't know what body type I am. My mom said I was athletic shape but no one ever mentions athletic body types with anything. I have big, muscular legs, and a strong body. Can anyone help please?

[MarjoleinCaljouw]

So if you are an hourglass shape... you have 90 cm bust, 60 cm waist, 90 cm hips... So that's 35,4 inch bust, 23,6 inch waist, and 35,4 inch hips... But if you have that hourglass body type and you eat more than you will have a banana / straight figure...?that's what the calculator says. Hmm..I'm not sure if you can count on those bodyshapes a lot...What do you think.

[MarjoleinCaljouw]

A study of more than 6,000 women conducted at North Carolina State University in 2005 revealed that 46% of women were banana-shaped; just over 20% were pear-shaped; just under 14% were apple-shaped; and only 8% were hourglass-shaped. The hourglass is normally accepted as the "ideal" female shape in Western countries. I'm part of the 20% than, I'm surprised I thought I was hourglass but it's a difference of just a couple of cm...I think that's weird. Got that from calculator. n e t

[hoeme0]

Wich kind of string bikinis, do you recommend??????

[Caherass]

Your so lovely....thanks for this :)

[lipgloss13smiley]

Thumbs up for the beautiful nokia advertising in the beginning of the video.! ;D.

[reallysexyvideos]

great information in this video about bikinis i love it. Great job.

[AzzyDaSpazzy1]

Love the video!

Thank you so much for doing this. So imformative

[BittersweetMoonlight]

I like it. :) I was going to get a bandeau style top, and I'm glad I didn't....I'm a 34DD, so that wouldn't be good for me.

[courtneyshaffer211]

what is your take on one piece bikinis with large cutouts on the sides? what body shape do those bathing suits flatter the most?

[dollyartbla]

ah ur irish! well living in ireland, just checked in ur originally Italian. i didnt realize till the end. i thought u were Canadian for some reason. shame on me. cos im Irish. haha

[naturesknockout]

Awesome video!!!! Very informative!

[clairbearushin2dstar]

What about us girls with big tummies, do we just wear bathing suits??

[courtneyshaffer211]

@clairbearushin2dstar she told us that girls with have a bigger midsection are apple shaped

[LolaLolaHulaHula]

I would have thought that a halter top would broaden the shoulders and balance out a pear shape? xx

[pepriika]

Im 5'2 and like 34B- 24" -37.4" ...so what am I...the hour glass or the pear shape? Anyways I like to show off more hips so I should wear those boyshorts xD

[ifitspink06]

@pepriika yes you sound like a pear shape :)

[clairbearushin2dstar]

What about us girls with bigger tummies. Do we just wear bathing suits?

[nukky83]

it would have been better to blend in some pictures of stars which have the body shapes youre talking about.. i cant imagine from what youre talking and what body shave of them i have :D

[Aoife030496]

i'm between an hour glass and a pear so can i wear triangle top bikinis cause thats what i bought?

[Nappy133]

8:59 bikini bottoms xD i immediately thought of spongebob lol

[Jspf96]

Jizz in my pants

[Yourloveismidrug]

@BeautyStudent94 you could get clear straps sewn on!

[kassymw]

i think that boy shapes look amazing in those cut out one piece bathing suits! I'm not sure what they are called.. or how else to describe them.. but hopefully people get what I mean.

[bt2girl]

that is so weird, the whole time watching this video i thought she was american but thought she had a REAAALLY irish-ised american accent haha now i know why :L any idea where i can get that book in ireland?

[asd01510]

hourglass doesnt always been you have to have a big bust. i clearly have an hourglass shape and my measurements show that as well, however i'm only a B cup and i think bandeau tops or anything that emphasizes my chest or shoulders look better on me because it makes me look more proportional.

[babykyle447]

I finally found Airy Fairy in NYC and bought it, it's fantastic for fair skin and very good quality as you said. Thank you!!!

[amieHERSELF]

Thanks for this video its awesome! I actually know that i'm a pear shape now. I find it hard getting bikini tops that look good though. I think i need something really ruffly to emphasise my boobs as i don't have much :P What do you suggest?

[MrsLucify]

I love your speech at the end:)

[sweetgalnitz07]

can u let me noe wat figure am i, cos i cant figure out at all my sizes r bust-34b, waist 29(the round around my navel -31) hips 36 plzz let me noe..

[ojloves]

i'm an hourglass but i'm also not 90 lbs. lol so i won't be wearing a string bikini...

[Guldefisk]

I am an hourglass, but I have found that string bikini's just dosn't work for me, as the string bikini top dosen't offer enough support for my bust, meaning... my boobs will simply jump out of thouse little triangles. Not hot! I'm such a child when it commes to playing in water, I still like jumping in the water, so little stringed triangles... is no go.

[FleeForYourLife]

I still can't tell what I am D:

[rebeccalovesmusic1]

could you please show us your bikinis ???

pleeeeeeeeeeeease :)

[jchai20]

can you explain the theory about mixed body shapes? that's the first time i've heard of it

[countrygirlyrockstar]

victoria secret bathing suits !!!!!!!! for girls with the boyesh shape like me ! unreal bathing suits only ones that make me look fuller and just really good love them .

[fadams22]

@countrygirlyrockstar Thanks for  sharing the tip!! im going to look right now, never new they did bathing suits!!! :D

[steffycalssical]

@countrygirlyrockstar Thanks!! They have the cutest stuff. I have no curves

[bbrooklynjanee32]

Are u having a baby?!

[jasminekh121]

I loveeeeeeeee the cute dogs in the background playing

[Chydova]

It's really nice how she says "This lovely lady" for the pear shaped figure...cause I am a pear shape, and I despise it :(

[TheGlamourista]

HAIR TUTORIAL OMGSH!

[perritumbles]

i think having underwire makes smaller busts look muuuuuuuch bigger. i don't like wearing anything else

[beautybijouxfashion]

I have boyish shape; I like the boy short cut. Reason being is other bikini bottoms do not cover my flat bottom accurately. Basically, they emphasize what I don't have because the bottoms are baggy. Thus, I try to find bottoms that are boy or full coverage cut that hit right at the belly button.

[Takeoffmycolors]

I feel like bandeau tops make my breast look smaller, I don't understand why people say that it makes them look bigger?

anyway loved the video though (:

[DollFaceRee]

@Takeoffmycolors i think shes referring to people with big boobs as when u have big boobs and a bandeau top they just hang and look massive. lol x

[Zusie]

@Takeoffmycolors IMO it's because a bandeau will create a wide horizontal band that gives an appearance of being bigger there. Having more fabric there as opposed to a triangle top will bring more attention to your bust and any ruching in the middle will help make you look fuller.

[ashuleylovesu]

@Takeoffmycolors i completely agree, i feel like it pushes then down making them look flatter. :/

[marianrosealexander]

@Takeoffmycolors i find that bandeau's that are considerably sinched in the middle make breasts look a bit bigger. they give you a bit of cleavage even sometimes depedning on the shape! Also you can buy ones that are gathered all over which gives the illusion of more volume! hope that helps xx

[itsjohannahere]

@Takeoffmycolors coming from a pear shape (me), this is NOT at all what she's trying to say. if your breasts are small, wearing a bandeau top (or really any swim top, less it's a push-up) isn't going to suddenly make you look like a double-d girl. she's saying that the rectangular/wider shape of the bandeau top will make the top HALF of your body (think chest up to your shoulders) appear wider and more balanced in comparison to your lower half. :)

[BeeAngelful]

your book seems pretty helpful

[xhellokittyx465]

what if you are pear shaped, and you have a bandeau top that also has halter neck straps? is that still ok?

[ThePressplay3]

I think I'm the boy shape and hour glass lol:)

[wrappedwithlove87]

anna thank you so much!! i'm a boyish shape and ive always worn string bikinis because it always says thats the only body type that can put them off... you give a totally new approach by suggesting CREATING the illusion of curves which makes so much sense! im definteily going to try this marylin style bikini this summer!

[YasminMorrisTV]

you have to do top heavy!!! please i have no hips and im a double g its so depressing!!!!

[OffentligToalett]

@YasminMorrisTV Not that I'm Anna or anything, but the way that I caught onto it you should wear a ruffled detail bottom and a string bikini top. Ruffles + detail = bigger hips and string bikini should make the bust appear smaller.

[pennyandme]

this hair colour on you is incredibly flattering. you should do a video on choosing a hair colour based on skin tone. please!!?

[SuperMarian93]

where do u buy your bikinis? please answer!

[xCazza1995x]

"jesus my hair is so annoying!" :D

[jenmurphyxx8]

I looove your fashion videos., they're def the most informative here on youtube :) xx

[normuzi]

What about girls with really small busts...? what bikini top style would be best ? :)

[Hypnotiq01x]

@normuzi she said the bandeau style

[LizYArtur]

Great video, Anna! I definitely learned something new!! (: xx

[LottieRussellx]

such an amazing idea!!! :) xx

[RachelBDuncan]

Did you have to say the j. Word. Dislike.:(

[Sophieee117]

@RachelBDuncan the j word? :S

[xcarriejx]

I never knew what shape I was before.. I'm slim but I have such broad shoulders. Thanks for the advice - some proper advice! :)

[xAntiSorax]

I never can tell what bodyshape i am :/

[soonnic]

i work out the whole winter and look great in a bikini in summer :) neverending motivation to work out :)

[abzkebabz1]

help pleeeeease anna, I have a big bum and thighs but they are in proportion with my shoulders - that makes me an hour glass? but i have small boobs so that makes me a pear? WHAT AM I

[amandajcline]

@abzkebabz1 You would look best in the pear shape styles.

[Goanna1993]

i am a pear and i choosed boyshorts because I have a mole high on my hip and I am so embarassed!! I knw boyshorts is the biggest mistake for me because, first my hips look even bigger, and 2 I am shortie and boyshorts make me shorter than I am :(

[Abbie534]

I honestly can't tell what body shape I am, but I'm 16 so does that mean that I dont really have a proper body shape yet?

[TheMzJewels]

Just bought your book for my sister-in-law who's turning 13. I'm afraid I'll have a hard time not keeping it! I'm so excited to share your insights with her!

[AliciaHurmuses1994]

have you lost weight?

[k8emn]

i'm eating so much shit right now :L diet starts tomorrow ;)

[peevishporcupine]

Here's the thing about big hips/bum, though--I can't wear a sarong into the water. The point about boyshorts or a fuller bottom is that it will cover my bum decently and STAY ON when I go swimming. I see what you mean about how a bigger bathing suit bottom will make you look bigger, but I have tried many of the standard string-style bikinis and if I went swimming in those I'd get arrested for indecent exposure--they just don't cover my bum.

[kineauka]

pff I have a combination of the bad things of serverals shapes... little bit confusing...! I dont care that much  although....

[kineauka]

pff I have a combination of the bad things of serverals shapes... little bit confusing...! I dont care that much although....

[HollerAtChurMother]

if you have a reeeally small bust do you suggest like a padded bandeau top? i have never tried one on but some people say it makes you look "flatter"

[fanaynay100]

I love this video!! I love how you're trying to promote girls to love their body no matter what size!!! I've always hated my body, but you've made me love it a little but more!! :) xxx

[emyjaynee]

you missed top heavy :(

[fanaynay100]

@emyjaynee I think that was apple...

[Berserkbri]

@emyjaynee top heavy = apple shape.

[Strawbimi]

@emyjaynee I think thats apple shape? like you mean, bbig shoulders, bit of a belly and stuff? but with relatively skinny thights and calves? yeah thats an apple shape babe

[carlah484]

@emyjaynee i thought that was apple??

[amandajcline]

@emyjaynee I think that would be considered apple.

[EmiRiverdancer]

@emyjaynee She did but she described it as apple :) x

[LeeshyLove]

@emyjaynee good point, ive seen so many top heavy women wearing the least flattering bathing suits!!

[girlyimage]

@emyjaynee I think Apple shape is top heavy, isn't it? She did cover that.

[MissMehekiee]

@emyjaynee that's the apple shape!

[peachpetal7]

@emyjaynee no she didnt, thats an apple shape. she talked about it

[dancergirl781]

@emyjaynee  apple

[complexion1]

@emyjaynee apple was top heavy.

[scrolly2912]

@emyjaynee apple shape is top heavy.

[blc90]

@emyjaynee apple is top heavy.

[WiseGirl66]

@emyjaynee she said halter tops will make you look smaller, so to equal that out and give you support you can try that.

[EmerHelena]

@emyjaynee that's an apple shape!

[prissnicole24]

@emyjaynee thats apple shape heavy on top and slender on bottum



[BleachSoulxx]

@emyjaynee wasnt top heavy apple?

[cklckll]

I wish i had your cheek bones! you have such a pretty face

[stefania825]

@cklckll contour!!! :D lol

[rocknrollbaby71492]

this video couldnt have come at a better time, basically the only thing thats been on my mind is what kind of bathing suite would look best on me im 18 and i have an hour glass shape and im glad you made this video bc for like the past 2 years iv worn the boy short type bottoms lol

[l1Love4You3]

please please please reply.....

i just bought a bikini for summer i mean im 15 and its my first one .. but i dont know what i thinkk about it.

im 5,4 and i weigh 8 stone...

i bought the bandeau top because i literally have a flat chest ,, im not really sure of my body shape but i can describe,, flat chest, a little belly not big neither flat but its closer to being flat,, i dont have huge hips .. :)

[Selena4081]

I have a mixture between a pear and a hourglass if that makes any sense which bikini type would you recommend?

[sugaryxoosweets]

I agree with the Marilyn Monroe style bikini's for a boyish shape! A good example of this is a picture of Taylor Swift I saw wearing it. Google image "taylor swift bathing suit". Your hair looks stunning:). Body image-Fake it till you make it...girls..we are all gorgeous:) Rock your body!

[ngans2hung]

can you please do a tutorial for this look you have on your face and whatever you did with your hair and what products you used to get that beachy/wavey look... it looks amazing!

[KristanEdwards]

Thanks Anna :)

[welcome2angelasworld]

YOUR SO PRETTY :)

[PprettyBlossoms]

I'm a boyish shape and bandeau tops look awful on me. They just make me flat, I think triangle shaped bikinis are better for my shape.

[jackman17x]

@PprettyBlossoms This is my problem too.
